Anne Wilson - Closer To God Lyrics

I thought the more I cleaned myself up 

The more worthy I’d be

I thought I had to draw to near to Him 

For Him to draw back to me 

But He’s the breath in my lungs when I’m gasping for air 

He’s the friend listening holding my desperate prayers 

In every hour that felt too dark 

In every moment He felt far 

Every time I felt like He forgot 

Didn’t know I was closer to God 

In every valley He walked with me s

He sealed my future set me free

In every place I felt lost 

Didn’t know I was closer to God 

Cause He leans into the brokenhearted 

The whisper in the storm 

Looking back to where I started 

The path revealed Him more 

He’s the tears in my eyes washing my soul 

And I had to lose it to know He’s in control 

I had to lose hope 

To finally stop runnin’ 

I had to feel alone 

To learn that I wasn’t
